Watch streaming video of Verizon IndyCar Series practices and the three rounds of knockout qualifications April 25 for the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama.

Streaming at www.RaceControl.IndyCar.com of the 60-minute practice (8 a.m. ET), the 45-minute session (11:40 a.m. ET) and qualifying (2:55 p.m. ET) on the 2.38-mile, 17-turn Barber Motorsports Park road course includes real-time Timing & Scoring and the broadcast by Paul Page of the Advance Auto Parts INDYCAR Radio Network.

At the March 16-17 Promoter Test – the first all-team track sessions with the Chevrolet and Honda road/street and short oval aerodynamic package – reigning Verizon IndyCar Series champion Will Power, driving the No. 1 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, had the quickest lap of 1:07.3118 seconds (123.010 mph). It was a full second quicker than his 2014 pole-winning lap time on Firestone alternate tires. Twenty-one drivers bettered Power’s 2014 pole lap time over the four sessions.

Scott Dixon holds the track record with a lap of 1:06.7750 in Round 1 of qualifying in 2013, also on Firestone alternate tires that offer more grip. Ryan Hunter-Reay, driving the No. 28 DHL Andretti Autosport Chevrolet, has won the past two races at the track in Birmingham, Ala.

The 90-lap race will be telecast at 1 p.m. (ET) April 26 on NBCSN.
